After spending a lot of time talking with my best friend, I decided to do an adoption for a rescued Doberman. I applied to adopt one here in Colorado but never heard from anyone regarding my application. I also saw the ones they offered for adoption here in Colorado were 1 1/2 yrs at the youngest. I saw one I really wanted but she was listed with Oklahoma Doberman Rescue. I asked my friend if he'd adopt her for me and I almost leaped through the monitor to hug him when I found out he had filled out the application. He had an immediate response asking for a little more information about the dogs he already has. I in the mean time was trying to find some Doberman Associations to contact to pass the word to not buy any Doberman pup from Michael Bennett in Rush Center, KS. I found a breeder in California I had bought a Doberman from in 1991. She was listed also as doing Doberman Rescue.. I called her and we talked for over 2 1/2 hours. She is on the National Board of Doberman Association and a couple of forums. She asked me to email her information about Michael and the Doberman pup, Toto he sold me. She also knows the woman in Oklahoma well and forwarded and email putting in a reference for me to adopt the 5 month old pup I'd found. Two days later I got a call at work and was told to fill out an online application and they would get started approving me. I did so immediately.
Within 30 minutes, I recieved a call back saying I had been approved and would be getting Katy by the end of October. Katy is in a foster home in Houston, TX. The foster mom said her husband works for Continental Airlines and he was going to fly here to Colorado with Katy. I still don't know which airport but I'll be getting them in the next day or two. I may end up driving to Denver International Airport or hoping.. I'll be able to drive to the one here in Colorado Springs.
Katy is being shipped with several of her favorite toys since I had to get rid of all the new toys I had just bought for Toto. She also is being sent with a brand new fleece coat to wear on cold days and nights. Her foster mom grew up in Colorado and wanted to make sure Katy had a coat. I have everything ready for Katy and can't wait for Saturday to come. She'll be 6 months old, spayed, current on all her shots and up to date and on heart worm preventative meds.
I want to thank Dana Johnson, from Danjo Dobies for all her help. Thank you Keisha for your support and the biggest thank you and hugs to Merrill for being an incredible friend.
